UNICEF and the Global Goals

UNICEF is committed to doing all it can to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in partnership with governments, civil society, business, academia and the United Nations family – and especially children and young people.

Liberia, 2014: At an Ebola treatment unit in Monrovia, a health worker leaves the safe zone, on his way to treat patients in the high-risk zone. UNICEF is supplying water to meet drinking, washing, bathing and disinfecting needs at the 100-bed facility.
In Liberia’s continued war against Ebola, water is an essential weapon. To care fully for each Ebola patient, at least 150 litres of water is required – that’s 10 times the amount a Liberian normally uses.
